   @jana @MagicLike I'd be hesitant to support it, due to Libreboot's Binary Blob Reduction Policy:

   https://libreboot.org/news/policy.html

   Under this policy, it says: if a blob can be avoided, avoid it.

   It makes a special exception for dGPU ROMs though. Anyway, you need to extract a VGA ROM and insert it in flash, to use the dGPU. Also, relevant commit:

   https://browse.libreboot.org/lbmk.git/commit/?id=9dc3c86ae37db781b6bc4e745a57217c3511074b

   You could adapt a reverse of this diff, to handle the Nvidia ROM; kinda works with nouveau on linux 6.8 to 6.9, but very very buggy.

   One day you couldn't sleep and you were looking at your phone at 3am when a notification popped up saying your friend-status-thing app was synchronizing. You got curious and tapped on the thing and watched it.

   It told you that some of your friends had nominated you as one of their trusted text backups, and your phone was now checking all their posts and downloading any it'd missed, so if their phone got stolen by a crow or buried under a tree then they could come round your house with their new phone and get their old posts back. You remember seeing the option when you first installed the app, and you didn't bother with it, but in that moment you felt weirdly grown-up and reliable, and you told yourself to try and remember to sort out backups tomorrow.

   You watched it looking at each post in turn and getting the comments and reactions and stuff, and you imagined some scruffy little librarian raccoon nodding and scribbling notes and putting them in lots of different drawers, making sure that nobody lost anything. This somehow made you feel safe.

   You were glad it decided to do all this when you were asleep, because your phone got kinda warm.

   I originally made this #Mastadon profile a few months ago because I got tired of how toxic #reddit could be, and wanted a place to randomly banter with people still. Which was my main use for it.

   It's now turned into a bit of a #writing project. I write tons of short form stories anyway.

   I have a tendency to ramble and over elaborate, and the length restriction on here forces me to shorten things.

   It's a fun little challenge.

   As I was saying before, the American way of disaster as it is of war is to throw very large logistical resources at a problem, which is their strength, in this case to be admired, because no other society in world history has anything like it.

   It’s also a source of their conspiracy—from weird ones like Chinese warfare, to the ‘Elon is helping!’—the idea that problems can *only* be met through application of high technology is very set in culture.

   @cstross @CoolBlenderKitten Mainly because it is solid when you hit it.

   It means if you hit it, the car will come off worse.

   @MachsAnders It can be avoided if the Mastodon® software will support "Article" type. Maybe, if a post is more than 500 characters (since it has become the default, even Threads is 500 and Bluesky is planning on increasing to 500 as well), the software will ask the user to choose between "auto-thread" or "Article type".

   The "Article" type is better IMO. It publishes the entirety of the content as a single post but it's forcefully collapsed. Other Fediverse software already support it.

   It's different from the workaround that Wordpress, Drupal, WriteFreely, and Plume all have: posting a summary and a link to read the rest of it. Or, like the other Mastodon software forks, they added collapse if it's more than 500 characters.
